Chapter 22

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. They are the property of JK Rowling.

A/N: Ok once again sorry for a really long period of time between updates. I thought the Amanda story would be short but it's official that I am the worst short story writer in the world. I keep finding it necessary to add details here and there. As a result I'm getting a really long story that isn't complete yet. So far I wrote 25 pages for the story and I'm thinking the story may end at around 40 pages. Also thanks to all of you who have been reading my stories and the reviews.

Responses To Reviews:

slate07: I will try.

Sabrina-05: Thank you for your reviews. I really thought I was going to be able to make this a short story but it is turning out to be quite long. It of course will not be as long as this story but I find it difficult not to add details here and there.

Dracoz-snug-love: I'm sorry you didn't like my story and perhaps it is fluff. I do not consider your review however a flame because you stated your opinions on why you didn't like it and that is more than I can hope for. I cant become a better writer with out someone critcizeing right? Anyways when I read your story I noticed that you "borrowed" the name of my broom (Viper Strike). Perhaps it's just a coincidence. Of course I will not go to your story and flame it but I will talk about how much I like it. Also I am also a hater of Harry/Ginny or Hermione stories.

hippyman69: I hope not.

TheLaguna: Yeah sorry about the authors note. And I'm glad you feel better than it's not a sad ending. There is one thing that some of my readers might not like that I haven't decided if I'm going to put in or not. It will diffidently set up for a sequel but I'm not sure yet.

AngelOfDeathz: It might not be as great as you expect. Sorry ( I'll put more fluff in later.

"Valerie! Help Hermione!" Yelled Cho but before she could finish, Valerie was already making a mad dash in the general direction. Cho quickly turned her attention to the Energy Vortex beating Ron senseless. "An Ort!" The Vortex saw Cho cast the spell and instead started towards her but quickly disappeared.

"What spell was that?" Asked Jennifer as Cho rushed over to check on Ron.

"Dispel," replied Cho paying no attention to her. "He's badly hurt, he needs medical attention soon." Suddenly Dobby appeared beside her.

"Dobby will help heal Mr. Ron. Miss should help Ms. Hermione fight the dragon." Cho quickly nodded and turned towards Hermione and Valerie.

"Stupefy!" Cho said as she ran towards the Lunar Dragon. The spell hit him square in the chest but did not affect him.

"His mass is too big," said Hermione. "That spell wont work."

"Petrificus Totalus!" Yelled Valerie. The dragon suddenly froze momentarily as it seemed like it was struggling with something.

"He's fighting the bind," said Cho. Everyone suddenly stopped and watched. No one knew exactly what was going to happen. Slowly the dragon started leaning towards one side. It fell over smashing itself into the cave walls. Unfortunately Hermione just happened to be up on that wall when it came tearing down. All the dirt and rocks began to slide out from underneath her feet as it came tumbling down towards the ground like a mudslide. Not being able to think of anything quick enough, gravity took hold of her as well. Cho and Valerie caught each other's glances for a second before running in the other direction. Behind them they could hear the dragon hitting the wall and everything falling apart as well as Hermione's scream. When the dust cleared they found Hermione lying unconscious on a pile of dirt and rocks,

"We need to get Ron and Hermione out of here," said Valerie.

"Dobby is an elf," replied Cho. "They are good at healing. Help me carry Hermione over by Ron." Valerie nodded as they lifted her unconscious form over to where Dobby was busy healing Ron. "I have to keep going."

"I'm coming with you," said Valerie.

"But."

"We'll be ok here," said Jennifer.

"You sure?"

"Yes," replied Jennifer. "Now take Valerie and go. Dobby and I will take care of these two."

"No," said Dobby. "Miss does not know the way."

"Ok then take Dobby with you," said Jennifer. Cho simply nodded and walked towards the dark tunnel.

"You think they will be ok?" Asked Valerie.

"I hope so," replied Cho. "She's got to know a thing or two about first aide. She did play quidditch after all and people are always getting hurt in that game."

"This way miss," interrupted Dobby leading them down a flight of stairs.

"It's getting darker," whispered Valerie.

"These tunnels are only lit by torches," said Dobby.

************************************************************************

"Do you hear that?" Jeff asked. "There are people coming. Probably to kill us."

"Well I'm not going down with out a fight," replied Harry.

"They should be in one of these cells miss," came a squeaky voice from outside the cell.

"Wait a second," whispered Harry.

"What?" Asked Jeff.

"I know that voice," replied Harry.

"I hope he's ok," came a feminine voice.

"I diffidently know that one," Harry said anxiously. "Cho! I'm over here!"

"Harry?"

"Just follow my voice!" From inside Harry could hear footsteps approaching his cell.

"Is that your girl?" Jeff asked smiling. Harry could only nod with excitement.

"Alohamora!" The lock on the cell door clicked signaling it had been unlocked. The door suddenly burst open as Cho, Valerie and Dobby rushed inside. Cho quickly spotted a very dirty looking Harry and ran over to hug him.

"Oh my god! I thought I lost you," said Cho. She quickly embraced him in a deep passionate kiss.

"Ah young love," laughed Jeff.

"I've missed you," said Harry once they finally separated for air. "I've thought about you every single day."

"Oh Harry, I've missed you too," replied Cho. "You had me so worried that I had lost you again." She embraced him in another kiss.

"Sorry to ruin the moment here," interrupted Valerie. "But we're still in Malfoy's dungeon's you know."

"Right," replied Jeff. "So if one of you ladies could be so kind as to get us out from these chains we could be on our way."

"Alohamora," said Cho unlocking all of Harry's chains. Valerie took care of Jeff's. "My god Harry; your filthy."

"Well I haven't exactly been living in an ideal place here," replied Harry.

"It's ok Harry," laughed Cho. "I still love you anyways."

"Oh how touching," came a cold feminine voice from the doorway. Everyone quickly turned their attention to see Amanda standing at the doorway with her henchmen. Cho and Valerie quickly took their wands out.

"Put those down," said Amanda smirking at them. "Or your friends here die." She stepped aside to show that Jennifer along with a bloodied up Ron and Hermione were being carried somewhere. "Crabbe, Goyle! Take their wands and bring them to me. Have Potter and his friend wash up. They might dirty the house." The two henchmen by her side quickly did as they were told. As Harry was being taken out he noticed that Dobby was no longer there, but had disappeared. He watched Cho and Valerie were being taken in the opposite direction as he and Jeff.

"Hurry up Potter," said Crabbe. Goyle laughed as he pushed Jeff to follow as well. They stopped in front of what appeared to be a dead end. Crabbe stepped forward and tapped his wand on it before it slid aside to reveal red-carpeted stairs. Crabbe led the way up the stairs with Goyle behind them to make sure they didn't try to escape. Looking around Harry figured they must be inside Malfoy Manor.

"Don't touch anything," grunted Goyle.

"Oh I wouldn't dream of it," said Jeff sarcastically. Crabbe only grunted as a response.

"In there," said Crabbe. He opened the door to what appeared to be a large bathroom with several showers and sinks. "Don't even try to escape, we will know."

"Well, at least we get to die clean," said Harry sarcastically as he walked inside followed by Jeff.

"We need a plan," said Jeff quickly. "Any ideas?" He looked at Harry hopefully. Harry looked at himself in the mirror. He diffidently looked like a nightmare since he hadn't had a shower in ages. His clothes were dirty and torn and his hair appeared to have dirt clots in it.

"No," replied Harry. "But I'm going to take a hot shower while I think." Stepping over towards the shower he turned on the water until he felt that it was just the right temperature. Stepping underneath the hot water was completely refreshing since he had not been able to shower in weeks. Looking around he found shampoo and soap. "We need a plan," said Harry to himself. "A plan." Stepping out from the shower he grabbed a towel and noticed a fresh change of clothes had been laid out for them. He grabbed them and quickly dressed himself.

"Any ideas yet Potter?" Jeff came out from the shower to get his clothes.

"Nothing," replied Harry. "We're going to have to wing this one."

"Hurry up in there!" Yelled Goyle from outside as he pounded the door.

"Alright!" Replied Jeff. "Geez don't get your panties in a bunch!"

"I need a shave," said Harry taking the razor from the cabinet as well as shaving cream. "I need more time to think."

"That's not something we have a whole lot of," said Jeff following Harry's notion to shave."

"Who are you?" Asked Cho. She and Valerie had been taken into somewhere in Malfoy Manor. They were diffidently out of the dungeons since it was nicely decorated. Amanda sat up in what appeared to be a throne and they were forced to kneel on the ground.

"Why don't you recognize me?" Amanda said. "You stole my boyfriend years ago, but I'm sure you've stolen so many you don't remember."

"I stole your boyfriend?" Cho said. She looked over at Valerie who only shrugged not having any idea what she was talking about.

"Look at this face carefully," said Amanda. Cho looked at her for what seemed like ages, then it suddenly dawned on her. "Mandy Madison?" Then suddenly as if it were a revelation Valerie also remembered.

"I remember you now," said Valerie. "But you left Hogwarts before you graduated."

"I transferred," said Amanda coolly. "But that isn't the point. This bitch here." She turned to Cho. "Had to mess around and steal Harry's heart. I gave him my heart and he gave me his. Then you came along!"

"Is this what this is all about," said Cho. "Your jealous because Harry loves me?"

'I'm not jealous bitch! He was rightfully mine to begin with. Now I want revenge!"

"You can't change a person's heart," said Cho calmly. "You know who he loves."

"Yes I do know who he truly loves," replied Amanda. "Once I get him out from underneath your spell he will see everything. He will see that he truly does love me. Then together we shall watch you perish."

"And if he doesn't love you?"

"Then you still die," replied Amanda. "It's a win win situation."

"You're a bitch you know that," said Valerie.

"I would hold your tongue if I were you. I might feel generous once Harry and I get back together."

"In that case I have no hope," smirked Valerie.

"Oh I don't know about that," smiled Amanda. "Look here they come now."

A/N: Ok damn. Yeah I know it was short but to make up for it I might post part of the Amanda story. I want to know how many of you are interested in reading it before I post a part of it. If not then I'll just wait until I'm done with the whole thing before posting.
